Cheesedays 2010 were a mixture of family and fun, of heritage and rain. We camped, or stayed in cabins at a campground. (Neil's idea of camping is a hotel without room service) We cooked, for the most part, outdoors to observe tradition. It rained both Sat and Sun morning, each day, a downpour at breakfast time. The site was a smear of mud and smoke from fires that sputtered, applied evenly to the kids tearing around and screaming. Yup. It was just like the good ol' days at Devil's Lake!

....I cooked under the tailgate of the van and others stood under the tailgate of the suburban. A new meaning to the term "tailgating".............

............we had sticky buns from the Dutch oven. I made 4 batches from frozen and they all found owners..................

....Jake was in charge of the "omelets in a bag" which appears in a separate blog later. Both the buns and the bag are directly learned from Rex and Mary so the Happy Campers were there in spirit..............

............a fresh supply of kids, which we have missed, were supplied by cousin Eric Rechsteiner and his wife Chris, who came in from a Chicago suburb........

...... a special guest was Eric's brother, John, who got the prize for longest distance. He came in from Atlanta.........

Speaking of kids........................my random camera never caught Nathan and Jack, who brought their parents, Laura and Barry, from Green Bay, so they didn't make the blog picture album. But Annie did!!

This delightful little bug, daughter of Jake's girlfriend, Laurel. chased away all the rainy gloom. More Cheesedays to come...................
